Space Au Femin, Sophie Adenot, Leisure, Scientific Culture, Students Cubsets: Unusual Interview with Claudi Hygiene, went into space first French! With two of its space flights and an extraordinary carrier, astronauts give us their advice, especially for young and young girls.
Claudi Hegenier is not only the first French woman to go into space. In addition to its two flights Space stationSpace station Russian DeadDead And the International Space Station, Claudi HegenierClaudi Hegenier Lead a major career in medicine. The neuro science doctor, she slowly becomes a space drug pilot in France. After its flights, the Claudi Hegenier interferes with the missions of scientific culture and became the Minister of Research in 2002.
Today, the Claudi Hegenier interferes with the promotion of scientific culture. She is especially the City DLSPress God Mother in Tolos, and the Van Allen Foundation’s God Mother, who finances the activities of the University of Montelier University, namely, Cubstis Missions (NanosetylitisNanosetylitis) On which students are working (2012 to 10 missions).
Photora: Women representation in the world of space is still less than men. But are we still seeing the progress?
Claudi Hygenier: It can be emphasized that generally in space sciences and space agencies, progress has been made in these few years. If we look at the CNES level, the executive committee has almost a equality. In the European Space Agency (ESA), we have director and marketing director of sciences that hold influential positions. I really think Think that it moves compared to the previous male environment. We see that very talented women emerge. And for astronauts, in addition to the seven women of the NASA Mercury program such as some exceptions [sélectionnées en parallèle des premiers astronautes américains mais qui n’ont jamais volé, NDLRNDLR] Or the first astronaut woman Valentina TerrickovaValentina TerrickovaIt’s still in this XXIE The century that we saw a bit of this important difference.
To take the example of France and Europe, during his election in 1985, only 10 % of the applications were women. When choosing Thomas Packet in 2008, it was 14 %. Then, in 2022, for the selection of Sophie Edent, there were 24 % of women, the ultimate choice of about 50 %. Of course. This is also the case in the United States, but perhaps Russian is not a matter. In China, there is an attempt. This development is certainly linked to what can better recognize the diversity of profiles and what women can bring. It is also linked to the fact that we now look for not only in the category of military pilots but also by engineers, researchers and other graduates who take part in space search.
Photora: We suspect, like you, Sophie Edient will play a major role.
Claudi Hygenier: Sophie has a very extraordinary personality. Really, she’s a test pilot, but he also has MIT Diploma (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), He is a guitarist and yoga teacher. It has features and generosity in sharing. It is great that someone who talks to young girls with this particular light EyesEyesThe pleasure of moving forward with every step, with need and strictly. She gives this puff of excitement and happiness to move forward. In addition, she is a super sporty. He told me on the phone the other day that he walked a bicycle with Houston Firefighters [rires]. And that is an excellent craft. They took his name ” MikeMike Given “and compare it to Don Patet [astronaute de la Nasa, NDLR]. These are really the personal qualities of the Sophie that will make it a very strong example. It has already begun. I’m so proud when she tells me that I keep shining a little flame in her head and I am very happy that she’s moving. His mission will be really important.
Photora: Our company needs more faces to make local exploration with festivals at a time when French engineers are lacking.
Claudi Hygenier: It is true that both teachers and students want to see scientific figures who dare and encourage. I give many conferences in classes and I see students need to see things you dream and feel. This is very important, but I also think that the younger generation needs to dream, provided it has no meaning. It is not utopia for utopia, moving forward is utopia, a dream of making a dream, but in the path where we know you have to be responsible. In fact, today, we need engineers and researchers, but we also need a common scientific culture. There are two forms of education, one who prepares (school) and what is affected, what we find in science centers, it knows all the places where we learn, but we also know Let’s do. And I know that this is an important thing today, the ability of these science centers that make hands and “hand over it”, collective plans.
Photora: In the projects where we practice, are there a lot of people in France?
Claudi Hygenier: Before getting out of school, you can act like shots already RocketRocket Investigation with the issuance of CNES. Then there are cubses and university space centers. We go to the level of nanosilite engineering. This is important because we have hands, we make, it knows how it is and not only knowledge. And there I think the girls are interested. We can even help other countries and other educational systems to achieve these skills. This is a way to emphasize our influence through our skills. I also include that in Montreier, the projects are designed around local issues, such as plastic pollution in the Mediterranean. This gives us the meaning of the technical adventures of the project, which is useful to the environment near us. It is important for young people to anchor the desire for contribution. Therefore, it is a great education and longevity for these projects and university space centers (CSU).
Photora: Finally, do you have a message to go to readers?
Claudi Hygenier: Live your life We slowly go out of the idea where young girls were forced into a framework that other people praise for them. Today all the trade is open. We have tools in school, scientific culture centers or somewhere else to be hungry and somewhere to choose our lives. And so I tell them to dare to choose their lives a little and move on. It will not be easy, you have to work, but at least it will be your life.
